Diisopropylethylamine → N-[1-(6-tert-butyl-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl]-2-(6,7-difluoro-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was synthesized according to the procedure described for the synthesis of 2-methylnicotinamide, starting from [1-(6-tert-butyl-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)ethyl]amine (intermediate 32) (31.5 mg, 0.16 mmol), 6,7-diflurobenzimidazole-1-acetic acid (35 mg 0.16 mmol) HATU (38 mg, 0.18 mmol) and DIPEA (71 μl, 0.41 mmol). Water was added and the reaction concentrated. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, and extracted 3 more times with ethyl acetate. The product was then purified by silica gel flash chromatography with acetone/hexanes (Yield 25 mg, 40%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD-D4) d ppm 1.32 (s, 9 H), 1.47 (d, J=7.03 Hz, 3 H), 2.53-2.57 (m, 3 H), 5.04-5.15 (m, 2 H), 5.15-5.22 (m, 1 H), 7.16 (ddd, J=11.43, 8.79, 7.52 Hz, 1 H), 7.28 (d, J=8.20 Hz, 1 H), 7.41 (dd, J=8.89, 3.61 Hz, 1 H), 7.68 (d, J=8.20 Hz, 1 H), 8.11 (s, 1 H) MS [MH+] calc. 387.1996 found 387.3.
